This is a very good Chinese Export, (Canton) large porcelain plate or dish, all hand painted with a light green celadon glaze, which we date to the early 19th century, circa 1820, of the Qing dynasty.
A feature of this plate is its size, having a large dinner plate diameter of nearly 10 inches, as the majority of plates of this type have a much smaller diameter .
The plate has a light green, Celadon ground glaze with beautifully hand painted decoration, in over-glaze poly-chrome enamels of the Famille-Rose palette, featuring a bird, butterflies, fruits and flowers.
The rim is hand painted in a café-au-lait light brown finish.
There is an under-glaze, cobalt blue square seal mark, hand painted to the base.
Overall a very good large example of a beautiful Chinese hand painted plate...
